View Poll Results: Will You Still Be Loyal To The Church of Dickey If Our Savior Is Traded?

I will still appreciated his awesomeness and root for him if he gets dealt to an AL team (Texas).

But, I will not worship a non-Met.

Thanks for the thread Paulie. It is a question that has been weighing heavily on my mind for a while now, and as the talks/rumors intesifies, it is an issue that has to be addressed, sooner rather than later.

The C of D: To Be Or Not To Be.

As much as it pains me, the answer is simple: If Robert Allen Dickey is traded, the C of D must close. Speaking strictly for myself, I cannot honor a player from another team in such a fashion, no matter how deeply respect that player.

Obviously RA Dickey will always have a special place in my heart. He will always remain one of my favorite players of all time, and indeed my favorite Met of all time.

I'll always root for him when he's not pitching against us. I'll always cheer for him whenever I see him, even when he's in Citi Field wearing a different uniform. I've always respected greatness. I cheered Henry Aaron when he came into Shea. To me, it will be no different when RA pays us a visit.

I can't root for him if he's pitching against us...the Orange and Blue runs too deep within my veins..however I can skirt that by wishing and hoping he ends up with a No decision each start against us and we pull out the win when he is no longer the pitcher of record

As a side note I see the FoC will close the church if this is to happen, and I think that is a smart move...For now Dickey remains a Met...let us all bow our heads and ask this remain the case...

HOWEVER...perhaps FoC would simply move the church to the team forum where RA winds up if he is to be traded away lol

RA Dickey is the only player I've ever known who is worthy of his own church.

And it looks like we may hold on to him so the Chuch of Dickey may stay intact!
